Eco-driving: Easy to Apply, Impressive Results
Fuel-efficient driving ("Eco-driving") can significantly reduce fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. Slight changes in driving style enable drivers to exploit fully the fuel-efficiency potential of modern technologies.
THE GOLDEN RULES FOR ECO-DRIVING ARE:
- Shift into a higher gear early
- Maintain a steady speed at highest possible gear
- Look ahead and anticipate traffic flow
- Switch off the engine at short stops
- Check and adjust the tyre pressure regularly
- Make use of in-car fuel saving devices such as on-board computers and dynamic navigators to avoid congestion
- Get rid of surplus weight and unused roof racks more...
